Responsibilities:Research in soil and water as they relate to the management of turfgrass systems.Research that will ultimately result in irrigation and fertilizer recommendations for specific turfgrasses grown in the principal soils of South Carolina.

Research interest:Soil & Water Quality and Quality in Turfgrass Systems.
Water research that encompasses both water quality and quantity issues, including causes and alleviation of soil water repellance in sand based putting green and fairways, the use of surfactants to reduce water use, management of alternative irrigation sources, and determining evapotranspiration models and crop coefficients for turfgrasses not maintained under well watered conditions.
Research of soil quality of Aquods for use as soil media for turfgrasses, investigating efficacy and leaching potentials of experimental nitrogen fertilizers, and nitrogen leaching under the alternative irrigation systems and sources.
